Surveys to substantiate elimination of trachoma as a public health problem in the Republic of the Union of Myanmar
Surveys showed that trachoma was no longer a public health problem in Myanmar and trachoma elimination thresholds had been attained. Partly on the basis of these data, in September 2020, Myanmar was validated by WHO as having eliminated trachoma as a public health problem.
